Hi Mary, we will be there. I just got back from Camp Perry and have a big bag full of new Randy stories. Lones sent his regards..

[Innocent]

Hammy,
Look forward to seeing you. Hope Randy turned out as good a Byron for a roommate!!!
C ya.
Innocent

[malinois]

Some how I doubt he did !!!!

[hambone49]

It never got that far, as his description of a lovely 2br cottage turned out to be a trailer on skid row. He even wanted me and Fred to share a bed. I bailed and upgraded to my own room on Tobacco Rd. Byron never looked so good. Ended up 10th in Expert, turns out there's more sandbaggers there than in AA...

[malinois]

Ah you are catcing on young grass hopper...

[ShooterP14]

I'll be there. Any recommendations on which motel to stay at?

[jjp]

I'll be there.

Mary, is your sleeping beauty riding with you?

[Innocent]

Jason, Apparently not, he is claiming work. Should be there Friday.

Innocent

[hambone49]

See ya all there. I'll be driving up by myself on Friday morning. I've reserved the penthouse with a water view at the Quinta, although in Jax I think that means a first floor double with a runny toilet next to the ice machine. Any more of you chickensteelers showing up?

[Innocent]

I have not reserved the tent spto yet but will do so tomorrow. See you there.

Innocent

What a great match. Hugh and his better half put together a great match. Awesome for their first one. I had a great time.

Hambone, great to meet you. Thanks for the after match beverage.

Hawk, Yall will have to jump out of a good plane without me. To exciting for me. See yall in in October.

[Innocent]

Jason, come on get enough of us together and we can jump out a perfectl good airplane at a discount. I'm game, besides, your little wimpy bullets won't travel that far.

Hugh an Lynette McCombs put on a great match. Very well organized, ran smoothly, and Jeremy did a great job calling, for his first time at it. The Boy Scout troop was the best I've seen at setting targets, and they even had a good time shooting after the match, thanks to all those that shared their rifles and ammo. Food was good and Hambone survived being by himself on Sunday because of the two relays....still he shot well and won a special turkey plaque in a grueling shootoff!

Results to be posted later.
